[Tianxia 3][Ghost ink X Wumeihou] I can't see the sky

It was early summer, and the climate was not so cold, so it was no problem for mortals to spend the night in a wild place with no shelter.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhuo Junwu assigned several sect disciples to escort a group of civilians to Suying Village in the east for temporary shelter according to the chief's suggestion, and find another way after the situation calmed down.Suying Village is located at the junction of Ye'an City and Yongye City. Ever since Wumeihou left and Huaiguanghou died, there has been no one to govern it.Because of Yun Heng, the villagers have always been friendly to ordinary people, and the current village head, Li Nan, is old acquaintance with Yi and You Huang, so he is willing to accept it.

Not long after the crowd left, the bushes above their heads moved, and a figure jumped down extremely quickly.The person who came was holding a longbow and carrying a quiver, and he was the Lingyu disciple who was in charge of guarding the night.With an anxious look on his face, he took a few steps forward and reported to Zhuo Junwu: "Master Zhuo! Something is wrong, there are more than [-] demons who followed the sky and came from the west! We are now less than three miles away. Already!!"

Before Zhuo Junwu could answer, the chieftain frowned and said, "Thirty? It's too courageous to dare to take risks alone with such a small number?"

The Lingyu disciple said anxiously: "No... not only that! We were afraid of being discovered, so we didn't dare to approach. However... However, we vaguely saw that the leader was the one who questioned us in the enemy camp last night. Hou!"

Only then did the chief understand: "...that guy is suspicious by nature, after all, he didn't hide it from him?"

You Huang said: "No wonder. Thinking about it, he is also the Promise Demon who ranks as the Lord of the Nine Nethers anyway, if he just deals with ordinary people, it really doesn't take much trouble." After a pause, he said, "What should we do? Yes Now run away like this and avoid the edge, or face it calmly and decide the outcome?"

Zhuo Junwu hurriedly said: "Don't go! The disciples escorted those civilians just set out not long ago, and I think we haven't gone far. If we avoid this, Xing Hou will definitely catch up with them in the next step that day!" If you work hard, everything will come to naught!!"

You Huang quickly turned to ask the chief: "...What is the strength of Xinghou that day? If the three of us join hands—"

Zhuo Junwu said: "I am not afraid of fighting. However, if I have to kill this devil and alarm the other four—"

The chief shook his head and said: "It's really dangerous to scare the snake. However... Although the five of them formed an alliance and seemed indestructible, they actually seemed to be at odds with each other and fought on their own. In other words, it might be an excellent time.”

Seeing his confident appearance, You Huang happily said, "Have you got an idea?"

Chief cast a sideways glance at him, and the corner of his mouth curled into a strange and graceful arc: "Then it's going to... look at your skills."

Seen by his eyes, You Huang felt a chill run up his spine, and then his whole body was enveloped by a puff of familiar smoke.

"Hey, hey! Wait—you..." The clear and clear voice that originally belonged to the man suddenly turned sharp.

***

Tian Xinghou has been ranked as the Lord of Nine Serenities for only a hundred years. He was born as a wolf demon. By constantly eating souls raw and accumulating strength, he finally cultivated into a demon.Since then, the instinct of being a wolf has never degenerated, especially, he has an extremely keen intuition for many things, and this intuition has helped him defeat one enemy after another, and finally ranked among the strongest in Beiming. One of the monsters.

But he never expected, perhaps it was this intuition that brought unprecedented danger.

The fire that lit the granary at night was very strange.I thought this was because Ye'an City's troops sneaked into the camp for a sneak attack, but I didn't know that the flames could not be extinguished by ordinary water, it was the method of Samadhi true fire that only Yijian or Yunlumen knew.Speaking of which, among the captives placed in the granary, there were of course these two factions, but they were all junior disciples who were still inexperienced and were sealed by chain spells.If there is strong support from the top ten sects, but relying on the ubiquitous intelligence network of the Youdu Army, they have never noticed that such a number one person has sneaked into Beiming recently.

also……

He thought of the female demon he had met at the gate of the camp.At that time, the beautiful woman was rushing to lead a group of mortals elsewhere, and he felt suspicious at that time, not because of anything else, but because he felt an abnormal breath in her—the decay and coldness that only belonged to the dead, but It is different from the corpse soldiers all over the Central Plains.At that time, I wanted to continue to interrogate, but the fire was too big and the situation was urgent, so I let it go on a whim, but thinking about it now, it was really a mistake.

But it's not without a remedy.Tian Xinghou sniffed his nose, looked around, and finally settled on a direction.

"Over there." He said, he took the lead to push through the dense bushes, and walked through layers of mud, followed by more than [-] demon followers in silence.

The fog in the forest became thicker and thicker, cold and damp, gradually submerging the previous dead branches and trees.For a moment, the eyes were filled with a vast expanse of whiteness, and it was impossible to distinguish the north, south, east, and west.

Tian Xinghou didn't seem to be affected by anything, but continued to move forward without slowing down at all.However, after walking for a moment, he suddenly stopped and frowned.A dog-headed demon behind him also sensed something was wrong, and said cautiously: "Master...Master."

"Say."

The dog head demon said: "This place... have we been here before?" He pointed to a broken branch protruding from the thick fog at his feet, "This branch seems to be the one that my subordinate kicked off earlier. .”

"……you sure?"

The kobold trotted to investigate in a hurry, and when he raised his head, his voice was a little flustered: "Your subordinate is sure! There are still a few dog hairs from your subordinate's legs stuck to the branch! We... We have been in the original place since we started. Going around in circles! This is... this is a meeting with a ghost hitting a wall!! We-"

His sound caused the other monsters to panic, but before the next sentence was finished, with a click, the dog's head fell off its neck, rolled a few times on the ground, and disappeared into the thick fog by the side of the road.Tian Xinghou kicked the headless corpse standing on its own to the ground, shook the blood on its claws, and said impatiently: "With this Marquis here, what are you afraid of! If there is such a person who shakes the morale of the army, he will behead himself !!"

All the monsters quickly fell silent, not daring to vent their breath.The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, so another voice came faintly.It seemed to be a woman's singing voice, faint and fluttering, intertwined with the thick fog in the forest, soft and mournful, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

"Ge Shengmeng Chu, stalks grow in the wild. Yumei died here, who will be alone?

Ge Shengmeng thorns, vines in the field.Yumei dies here, who will live alone?

The corner pillow is bright, and the brocade quilt is rotten.Yumei dies here, who will be with Dudan?

Summer day, winter night.After a hundred years old, it belongs to its residence.

Winter night, summer day.After a hundred years old, it belongs to his room. ..."

If Xinghou knew the poems and books in the world that day, he would know that what he was singing was "Ge Sheng", which was a very sad and lingering mourning poem.But of course he didn't know it, he just felt that the voice ran up his spine like a filament, and it was cold and gripping his heart in panic.There was a wail from behind, and one of the demon attendants couldn't bear the sound, and fell limply, then thumped, and fainted several times one after another.

Tian Xinghou was furious for a moment, and only shouted in the direction of the voice: "Who is pretending to be a ghost here?!"

There was an inadvertent pause for the singing, and then it rang again, but the voice gradually weakened, as if the person was constantly going away.

Tian Xinghou turned his head and saw that few of his subordinates who came with him were standing still. He muttered angrily twice in his throat, and didn't bother to care about them any more, turned around and followed the sound.
